15 grand, eh?

Seems like that's the target for TSG's upcoming Final Fantasy Marathon. And I gotta say... that's not exactly aiming for the stars, now is it? Aside from the floptastic Star Wars marathon, every week-long marathon thus far has broken the 50k mark, and even THAT raised 75% of that 15k goal. Heck, many three-day marathons came close to 15k. Is it just me, or is having such a low goal going to be a turn-off to certain people, who may be more inclined to donate if the goal is further away? It's what I've always felt, anyway.

On a related subject, expect an announcement from yours truly on the subject of the marathon later this week.

There's probably a science to getting the most money out of donations. I'd imagine that for some people, a low target is an incentive to donate because they'll be contributing a larger percentage when they donate.

That's an interesting subject, though. I'd love to see some kind of study on it.
